Journal Questions for Luke

I started a new responsibilities chart and finally included charts for those rascal boys of mine who get away with everything.  To get them excited I ‘re-used’ an old idea – Easter eggs filled with different treats or privileges that they get to pick from if they’ve done every responsibility on their chart that day.  The boys are THRILLED.  Luke pulled out ‘Journal Questions with Mom’.  I didn’t know how he would react to that, but when I explained that I would climb up and sit on his bed with him as he was going to sleep and ask him questions – just me and him – he was really excited.   He criticized my piece of paper as not being a real ‘journal’ but I assured him I’d transfer the info to my journal so we could remember it always.  Love this boys excitement.
